Enjoyed sitting at the bar after the New Haven Flights of Fancy event. My beef taco was excellent and I enjoyed the chips/salsa. Each time I go I get the tres leche cake but this time the cake was NOT the same. The cake was dry and the moisture from the various milks was not there either. I was disappointed.

This was my first time eating Mexican styled enchiladas etc etc.. I mUST say they were Soooo good.

I've been here many times and am always impressed! They have killer guacamole, amazing deserts, great drinks, a friendly wait staff, and fast service. I would highly recommend checking this place out, especially during happy hour (they have lots of specials)!
